TerraMaster announces the availability of new storage solutions with Thunderbolt 3 RAID technology , incorporating an updated hardware RAID microprocessor to improve data transfer performance. This enhanced hardware RAID microprocessor is now available in the TerraMaster Thunderbolt 3 DAS professional product line.
This hardware RAID solution supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50 configurations , depending on the number of disks. This improves efficiency and productivity thanks to enhanced disk performance, resulting in faster data access for applications that demand high data storage capacity. These include professional and prosumer applications such as 4K video editing, photography, and 3D animation.

The new hardware RAID microprocessor significantly improves performance compared to previous generation TerraMaster models. Increase hard drive read speed by up to 63% and write speed by up to 88%. In the case of SSDs, the increase is up to 32% and 25% faster in read / write.
Using a hardware RAID frees up the host CPU to improve application performance and productivity. So the freed CPU can work on other user tasks instead of having to handle data transfers. Having flash memory makes it easy to create faster and more efficient backups and restores to cope with potential power outages, providing additional data storage security and better performance.
The 3Gb / s Thunderbolt 40 connectivity of this RAID offers the speed necessary for a native storage experience and with support for the MacOS Big Sur operating system. There is support for 3,5-inch SATA hard drives and 2,5-inch SSDs, and multiple Thunderbolt 3-compatible RAID storage devices can be daisy-chained to offer more extensive storage possibilities. Delivering power of up to 15W via a USB-C PD is capable of recharging compatible Mac notebooks that connect to the device.
